You can find Canvas print on two sections of the website, on the Full Service Prints page under the Services part of the website and in the Wall Art part of the site which is under the Products Category. The actual maximum dimensions for a canvas print wrapped on 1.5" bars is 38" x 108"(9 ft). 38" is the maximum image width that will allow enough extra material to stretch around the back side of a 1.5" frame.

The smallest width canvas that can be stretched is 5 inches. Meaning the smallest canvas we can stretch is 5"x5"


The largest we can print and stretch is 52" wide(image size) on 64" canvas paper. We need to allow 2.9" for mirror flip edges and 2.5" white space. This will make the final image size 63" wide to fit on 64" roll.




Pricing for the Canvas prints that are odd sizes not in price book:
1st print: $30 per square foot
To figure out sq ft. from sq. inches, divide by 144. Example: 16x20 print equals 320 square inches or 2.2222 sq ft.

For unstretched canvas, price per square foot is $24


Procedure for producing the canvas[edit]

  1. Order is written up
  2. Inspect the file for resolution, color, contrast and any minor retouching.
  3. In the work order, you can see the customers instruction for stretcher frame depth, and how to handle the edges of the canvas wrap. Prepare the file as instructed.
  4. Once the final file is prepared, make a low-res version of the file and prepare it for email test. Since the canvas wraps and what they can potentially do to the finished piece, we need to send the customer an email test version so that they can approve the final file before moving forward with printing and stretching.
